Editorial Review

The Real Relax Favor-01 will give you a head-to-toe shiatsu massage with its 35 strategically positioned airbags in two pre-programmed automatic modes. If that sounds a little less impressive than the number of massage variations you can get from some of its upscale competitors, it's also budget-priced and won't gouge your credit line as deeply as those models. It's small, taking up less than 22 square feet of valuable floor space. And for a bonus, it has a virtual reality headset.

So if you've been looking for a massage chair that's both surprisingly inexpensive and will fit into that hard-to-fill nook between your bookcase and your computer desk, it's worth taking a look at. If you've been looking for a massage chair with a virtual reality headset, then it's probably the only thing that you should be looking at.

Real Relax is stingy with details about that VR headset, which is a pity, because it could take massage chairs into a whole new realm -- almost literally. We like to imagine that you can lean back for a massage while watching yourself blasting off to other planets or riding the rapids on the Colorado river in a comfortably cushioned kayak. There are no guarantees that it will do that, however.

It also does zero-gravity massage, which is where it leans you back so far that gravity presses you against the airbags and foot rollers to make them more effective. (The zero-gravity position, which resembles the launch position taken by astronauts, could work really well with a good VR simulation, in case Real Relax is looking for ideas.)
